Drama unfolded at the Citadel Salvation Army Church in Machakos County on Sunday as worshippers stormed the service, disrupting what was meant to be a solemn Sunday worship, accusing the church leadership of corruption and embezzlement of funds.
The congregation voiced frustration over what they termed as only having empty coffers despite collecting over Ksh400,000 monthly to aid church development initiatives. The congregation, led by Sergeant Stephen Maskika, expressed frustration over what they described as a deep-rooted system of financial mismanagement. They alleged that church elders routinely withdrew all funds from the church's bank accounts without any trace or accountability.
